Hi to all, I found where the geocache has been living this whole time but I looks to have been lost or have been mugged, the keyring was still in the hook so please if the owner could fix this one. TFTC
Another tricky one the kid found!!! Not sure if it's been tampered with, no container just the paper
There was just one unoccupied car when I called here so it was pretty easy to search. I couldn't help noticing a very prominent sign had two spelling mistakes on it. I found the cache quickly enough but, as others have commented, it is surely not in its original condition. It seems safe and secure though.
Let the Mega adventure begin! I landed in Palmy at mid day. After Bunnythorpe this was my next target. After finding some geocaches in KAS county I went to Fielding as I am staying there.
Finally visited at a quiet time with no muggles hanging around... so a quick park & grab was done TFTC
A school holiday visit to Feilding and a movie at Focal Point theatre. This cache was very helpful in locating a good place to park! After the movie we hunted this one down. Six year old granddaughter was thrilled to spot this one and it was very helpful to have children around me while dealing with this tricky little hide. Thanks marisa&kaleb
Yay got one after the badminton today - enroute to have a beer - found by Maca Tftc
No one around on a Sunday afternoon. Spotted from one side and retrieved from the other. TFTC
Stopped for brunch & saw this nearby so went on the hunt after checking out the 4 legged moos at the saleyards. Sneaky little hide. TFTC
A quick find while on a road trip in the area today. Though had to wait for someone to finish have a cigarette close by before attempting. TFTC
So glad we came for this one after hours. Took a bit of looking around until it was spotted. Extraction was easy, but restoring to position was trickier for fumble fingers. Great cache.
Find number 13 on a days caching trip to Wanganui. drove in the wrong car park at first, but quickly had it sorted, and cache was found. a bit tricky extracting, but job done. TFTC
Stopped here today and while it may be parking for all, it was quiet like that today - very quiet. Almost parked on top of it, so that helped for some cover. I sat on the fence for a bite to eat and spied the cache. Was able to get to it easily, signed the log then to return it to its spot - now that took a bit of doing but eventually I got there without being muggledl. Coords were spot on too - Thanks for the placement marisa&kaleb.
Agh muggled so bad putting this one back - I followed the suggestions and did it on the weekend but still got sprung - they hurried off as I'm sure I looked a little crazy- re hidden as soon as they moved on. Tftc
turned up and deserted parking lot sweet!
there was however a building door open with a green blinky light and a alarm kinda noise emanating from the inside.
While carefully avoiding this door way and both Jesserfly and myself on constant watch for peoples, torch light reveled this one in its hidey spot.
Logging done and replaced, we never found out about the green blinky, alarmy thing... so we left!
Cheers

on a birthday trip around the north island,nice little hiding spot, so many must walk past TFTC
The car park was deserted at 3pm on a saturday afternoon so it didn't take too long to find the cache. TFTC
Last cache for the day and find number 148 in today's marathon exped around the Manawatu. My thanks to the CO's who placed all the caches, Yeetrees who was our driver and Taybee who completed the party of three.
Sneaky hide here. In the end it was Yeetrees calling warmer / colder and torch light that revealed the hide. TFTC

I wandered around the empty carpark and looked a GZ and originally missed it. Was pleased when I finally recognized the wee beast. TFTC
#6495. Had an enjoyable dinner in Manchester Street, and so it was a quick one round the corner afterwards. Arrived at GZ to find good car parking. All quiet here at this time. Quick find. The cache was in excellent condition. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache.
Third one found so far after a frustrating weekend of trying to find others in Wanganui. Not as easy as we thought it would be!
On a bit of a roadtrip to Turangi with bkj97. He decided on an early 5am start and breakfast in Feilding so it was obvious he was planning a few caches on the way. This was number 5 for the day. Plenty of parking at 7am and mission accomplished.T4TCSL
Found with little blue hen on the way to Turangi by a rather circuitous route via Fielding. Took longer to reassemble than it did to find and log. TFTCSL
Caching in paradise, a gorgeous spring day in the Manawatu.
Sneaky one this one. No one around on a Sunday arvo.
Cache in order, log signed; safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Late on a Saturday afternoon with not too many folk around is a good time to complete this one! TFTC, #6917
Cool little cache. A few muggles around so I had to be careful. Tractor kept coming and going which was annoying. Tftc, my 2nd today in feilding, my first day geocaching outside of Hawke's Bay
Plenty of parking spaces available on this Saturday afternoon. A nice quick find. TFTC
Found this during lunch break and without using the GPS device as I was at GZ a while ago when the cache was disabled. Thanks
Quickest find yet. No extraction tool needed. The mere size of the thing astounded me and LeiLei. Very well placed. TFTC
No-one around here today and wow that's the smallest one of those I've seen so far, quick find though. TFTC.
I really dislike nano's, it always takes a huge amount of unnecessary time to re-roll the extremely small LB. But a find is a find.
